Re: [FEATURE REQUEST] Draft WB - line to sketch

Several options for those cases:
  1. Request the user to select a plane to attach the sketch to. Project the line onto the plane.
  2. Recover the previous functionality, requiring a third point to be selected. This way a plane is defined with all three points (two from the line).

Re: PartDesign Next in wiki

Looks good in general. Should we begin adding information to the missing (red) wiki pages as well?

Would it be convenient to make a copy of the current PD documentation and migrate it to the _Legacy pages at this moment?

Re: Need one logo for wiki a futur contributors hub

It's not my best creation (engineer not artist), but I made the logo absed on the other three hubs. The icon is 128 x 128 pixels. The idea is to represent the community with everyone filling a different role (shirt color), though this could be considered a rough draft that someone else could improve...

The current development version of FreeCAD (0.17) has several bug fixes that have [in part] been solved by switching to a newer CAD kernel (OC...

Re: Split Menubar

As a user, I would very much like to use your first proposal. Looks really clean and easy to understand. Second best would be Comsol commands with the FEM prefix.
